IT’S AS IT IS

What seems to be permanent, isn’t.

Apart from this eternal present moment now, all things, events, people, whatever, are temporary. Nothing lasts. It might be there for just a second, a few minutes, a week, a year, several years but it will go.

When we are in a good place, it changes, and when we are in a bad space, it goes. Everything has to have the opposite in order for it to exist.

There always has to be balance in the universe and we can observe this every day in nature and the environment. So is the same for all human life and activity.

Everything passes and that’s why nothing really matters except to be present in this moment and be conscious and aware.

The Yin and Yang of life will always be and that’s why it’s best to just be and accept all that is as it is.

Just be

'Thought' by Philip Dodson

Once we label ourselves as something…a leader, dominant, or a follower, an organiser, an alpha male/female, a rebel , a good person, a bad person, a whatever, it doesn’t matter what the label is, then we become that role. It is a role created by our mind and its ego. We often have many roles, a work mask, a home mask, there are many to wear.

We are not any particular thing, we are just a ball of energy, a beautiful human soul, housed in a physical carnation. We do not need to be one role or another, we just need to be.

Once we associate with the egoic labels and its creations, then the suffering comes, then we have to be a certain persona and defend its status against others, we then have to act out the role and all the stress that creates maintaining it so others do not judge or threaten it. There is an internal pressure created by the ego to play out these roles and maintain them for fear of what others might think if we slip up.

Life in this moment, just simply being our true essence is without all the drama and suffering of having to act out, maintain and defend a role. We are just a simple human soul enjoy this now moment.

Just be.
